The Friends of the Professional Car Society is the official website of the Professional Car Society, Inc. (Society). Our membership is primarily dues paying members of the Society; however, it is not a requirement that you belong to the Society to participate in our website.
The professional car is loosely defined as a custom bodied vehicle based on passenger car styling and used in the funeral, rescue, or livery services. Such vehicles may be hearses, flower cars, service cars, ambulances, limousines, or cars which are specially built to combine two or more of these different functions-combination hearse-ambulances, sedan-ambulances, or invalid coaches.
The Society was founded in 1976 to encourage the preservation of such vehicles. At that time, many of these vehicles had no established classes in multi-marquee antique car organizations. The Society's growth since that time has helped to establish the position of the professional car in more clubs and shows, and has served to preserve many of these vehicles for future collectors to restore and enjoy.

I have two of these dome light on the 53. one on either side of the divider. the are kind of brittle so we will need some lens at least. anyone got any Ida what the came off from before before Armbruster put them on a Pontiac.

thanks the lens measures 4 x 1 & 78. the worse case is I get a couple more of the tear shaped GM of those years. I haven't fully figure out there wiring as of yet still taking stuff apart. each one of these manufactures did there interiors different. this one was done in a oik cloth in back ad fabric in front. but we are getting there

getting closer I discover that eh 55 to 72 Chevy pickup use a similar lens but they are a little bigger. but in my fumbling I did find the cot light. they used a 53 courier pillar light just in front of the cot. the one in the car had been struck and the lens broken out. one problem solved
